    Couple of veg oil questions

    I'm wanting to run my next car (300TDI Disco) on a 60/40 diesel/veg oil mix. These will almost definitely be stupid questions, so bear with me. I want to know what kit I'd need to mix the two together ready for putting it in my tank. A bloke I spoke to said he ran his Trooper on used...

    £1500. Disco or 110 CSW

    OK, As I see it I can get a 94-98 TDI disco for £1500 or a 88-90 diesel 110. The Disco is probably the more sensible/practical choice, but I just love the look of the 110. Any suggestions where I would be better spending my hard earned ?

    Freelanders - Where have all the props gone?

    Hi folks, Someone offered me a FL last night, so I decided to do a bit of research on eBay for prices , specs etc. At least 40% of the ones I looked at had had the propshaft removed making it 2WD. The majority claimed for better MPG, but is there a more likely reason ...

    Hi Folks, Just been offered an '02 TD4 freelander in swap for my 2WD runabout. I know from reading posts here that Landy die hards don't have much time for them , but are they really a dog ? I'm quite tempted to be honest, but if it's going to end up costing me a bomb I'll walk away...

    Weller wheel swap for original

    Hi, I've got the wheels below on my Landy, which remind of some Weller wheels I had on a mini once. I really want the original wheels on it. I have no idea as to the desirability of these wheels. Am I likely to get a straight swap for originals ?

    Halfords breaker bar ... um broke :/

    Bought a Halfords 'professional' breaker bar a month ago and it snapped yesterday. Only used the bloody thing about 5 times. Personally I think there is a cast problem because as I understand it the pin is supposed to break before the bar, but the pin is in tact. The problem I have got is...

    Welding questions .....(numpty)

    Hi folks, I contemplating trying a little welding on my Landy myself. I did have a go at mig welding many years ago, but I didn't have a clue on what wire to use, what materials to weld etc etc. So I have a few Q's. I'm looking at hiring a 140amp mig welder, can you tell me what wire I...

    Britpart and others

    Hi folks, Just ordered a few bits from Paddocks, 4xshocks/swivel seals/sump gasket. One set of the shocks are manufactured by Britpart. I just came across another thread where everyone seemed to think Britpart parts were a complete waste of time and money :( Is there another reasonably...

    88'' SWB Petrol - Slowwwwwwwwww

    I posted a question i the green laning section about my 2 1/4 petrol being slow. I thought 45mph top speed (eventually!) was about right. Although someone has said 60mph should be achievable (without an O/D). Is that right ? It's got a weber on it and starts and runs lovely. No tappety...

    Will my little 88'' make the grade ?

    A read through the green laning threads and the majority seem to have Disco's / TDI 90's / v8 series etc etc. If I did manage to hook up with some other green laners in my bog standard 2 1/4 petrol 88, am I going to **** them off by lagging behind ? I know actual green lanes probably wont be an...

    Green laning clubs - Glyn Ceiriog / Oswestry

    Hi Folks, I live near Glyn Ceiriog and most Sundays I see a procession of Landy's driving past my window and wondered whether there was a local club ? I'm assuming they are heading up to Llanarmon DC somewhere,although I have no idea where. I'm hoping to get my SIII 88 roadworthy within...
